Abstract

Graphical abstract: Highlights: Lignocellulosic materials are a potent candidate for bioenergy production. Microwave approaches replace conventional approaches in future. Polar particle rotation noted to be the core principle of microwave strategies. Practical implementation needs circular bioeconomic perspectives. Abstract: The recent scenario has witnessed the augmenting demand for energy precursors primarily from renewable ways in respect of the natural environment. The high energy along with the cost-intensive nature of the conventional approaches directed the researchers to find out an effective and promising method that principally uses the microwave for the pretreatment. The formation of heat energy from electromagnetic energy through polar particle rotation would be noted to be the core principle of the aforesaid effective approach. The microwave treatments speed up the destruction of complex structure of the biomass by applying a specific range of heat over the polar parts in a selective manner in the aqueous medium. In this review, the implementation of microwave-assisted green approaches for modeling an integrated circular bioeconomic strategy to potentially use lignocellulosic biomass for bioproducts is discussed.
